Damn, even State has finished ranked 6 times


Not ripping on State but 8 for Ole Miss.
quote:

If you look at the rosters, UGA, Bama, LSU, Ohio State, etc. all have as much talent as they ever have.


I actually think that’s only true for Ohio State (who went out and spent $25M on a roster).

UGA, Bama, and LSU didn’t play that game and lost a combined 11 games for it.
quote:

Reminder: Ole Miss built a $10M roster to [NOT] reach the 12-team Playoff


How much did y’all spend to go 4-8?
quote:

Our losses are better and our wins are better.


Wins

OM over UGA 28-10 > Bama over UGA 41-34
OM over SC 27-3 > Bama over SC 27-25
OM over Arky 63-31 < Bama over Mizzou 34-0


Losses


OM to Kentucky 20-17 > Bama to Okie 24-3
OM to Florida 24-17 > Bama to Vandy 40-35
OM to LSU 29-26 < Bama to Tenn 24-17

And blew out another team that you barely beat.


Blew out two teams that they barely beat.

No chance every 2 loss SEC team goes undefeated the next 2 weeks.


I think Ole Miss is the least likely to come through with a tough road game at Florida. Texas could definitely lose to Texas A&M but A&M could jump Tennessee with that win. The other likely opportunities are Ohio State blowing out Indiana and Notre Dame dropping a second game. All that said, Tennessee is out if there are no upsets these next two weeks. I’d put the odds at 50/50.
quote:

Yeah it all comes down to the rankings this Tuesday between Ole Miss, UGA, and Tennessee as none of them are likely to do anything substantial to change that order the last 2 weeks.


Well Tennessee has to play @Vandy and Ole Miss @ Florida—two teams that have beaten top 25 teams this year. Not a given that both finish 10-2 this year.
quote:

Georgia and Bama would each be 6-2 in conference and Bama has the head to head.


Head to head only goes into effect if all the teams at 6-2 have played each other. Since there will probably be like 5 of these teams, it goes to the one whose conference opponents had the best winning percentage.
quote:

So y’all say Tenner is out of consideration with 2 losses? Why - losing to Arky? And same with Texas - out with another loss? Are we sure about this one


They dropped Georgia out of the top 12 with their second loss and they have the toughest SOS and two big wins over top-25 opposition. Will be three if they beat Tennessee. Easy to see why two-loss Texas and Tennessee would drop below them.
quote:

So punishing a team because their schedule includes teams who should be and usually are top 25 (or higher) but aren't, and for some of them that is due to a loss to said team.


If y’all can’t figure out how to beat A&M, you shouldn’t be in. Can’t go 0-2 against your only opponents with a pulse when the teams around you actually have quality wins.
quote:

And while I really despise the Vols and that is what my heart would like, doesn’t Ole Miss need Tennessee to win to get Georgia out of the picture completely?


The worst result for Ole Miss is probably a narrow UT loss. I still think that’s enough to get us past them on resume but it’s less secure than a UT win. Most likely the loser of that game will be behind Ole Miss regardless, though.
quote:

badly to LSU


In OT on the road in a game LSU stole?
quote:

I doubt it but no more than 3 SEC teams are getting in anyway barring some big upsets elsewhere.


4 are getting in as long as no one steals a bid in the Big 12 or ACC championship games. Will probably be 5 if Notre Dame loses again.

Not sure you can put Notre Dame in that group considering they’ve beat an A&M team that the SEC is struggling with this year.


What good SEC teams have struggled with Texas A&M this year?
quote:

Tennessee is the only team in the country to hold every team it’s played this season below 20 points. That 9 consecutive games without allowing 20pts! Tennessee defense is legit and would stop that Ole Miss offense like Kentucky stopped them.


Tennessee’s defense is holding opponents to 12.6 ppg but Ole Miss is holding opponents to just 12.9.


That’s a push and Ole Miss has the top offense in the conference. Tennessee, to be fair, is third. So both very good teams but Ole Miss with the better hypothetical resume.

If those are the final rankings, Ole Miss is screwed.


Yeah, we’d be the first team out. But they won’t be because Tennessee plays Georgia next week.
quote:

Tennessee is out. If Georgia loses, they are out. Late losses matter more than early.


Yeah unless Tennessee very narrowly loses to Georgia and Ole Miss looks bad against Florida and Mississippi State, Ole Miss is running away with that beauty pageant. On better recent form with everything else equal.
According to the placard, the Walk of Champions honors the undefeated 1962 team. While that claimed national championship is contested (USC finished #1 in the AP and there was no championship game) that 1962 team were champions by definition.
